This time, the court was very efficient. It only took three days to prepare military supplies and food.

First, there are half a year's worth of food and grass and 3.5 million taels of military expenses for Guan Ning to take with him when he goes to Longzhou.

Any further needs will be sent to the Zhenbei Army when they move north, showing their full support...

It's already the third day.

I just came back not long ago, and I have to leave again. A welcome banquet has just been held at my house, and I have to say goodbye again.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

Guan Ning summoned Butler Wu, Qian Dafu, and Qi Yue to the room alone.

These are the three most core people under his command.

Butler Wu is in charge of the family, Qian Dafu is in charge of the business, and Qi Yue is temporarily in charge of the Guan family army.

"What do you think of Emperor Long Jing's uncharacteristic behavior?"

Guan Ning asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid he has bad intentions. Our Majesty is definitely a ruthless person. You have embarrassed him several times before. How could he be so generous? I don't believe it."

Butler Wu shook his head.

"This is not a good thing. I suspect that your Majesty will seize your military power and deprive you of your throne after you put down the rebellion in the north."

Qian Dafu said: "From a business perspective, that's it."

"That's right."

Guan Ning said calmly: "The two of us are in vain. He is using me and I am using him. At this point, there is no other way."

"I need a big victory to gain greater reputation for me. When Emperor Long Jing suppresses me, I will have more reasons. In fact, it is just for the sake of the name, and I have to rebel!"

This is the first time Guan Ning has spoken out so directly.

"I have never been a submissive person, so I will definitely go down this road."

The faces of several people were quite solemn.

"So we have to prepare."

Guan Ning said solemnly: "I will go to Longzhou to take over the Zhenbei Army. If possible, I can try to bring the bandits in Longzhou under my command. I should lead the Zhenbei Army northward at the beginning of next year, and then the Guan Family Army will also set off."

"At this time, our powerful industries and personnel in Shangjing will be withdrawn..."

He looked at Qian Dafu.

"During this period, you can design a situation where we suffer huge losses and try to cash out and sell related industries."

"Understood."

Qian Dafu nodded solemnly.

This also explains why if the situation gets out of hand, the forces in Beijing will be purged in an instant, and the losses will be huge.

"When the rebellion in the north is quelled, Emperor Longjing will definitely suppress him. Then I will raise troops from the north..."

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "This is the main plan. Before this, only the three of you know about it and must not reveal it."

"clear."

"Then prepare according to this plan."

Both sides are preparing, and it seems they are enjoying themselves, but in fact, they contain murderous intent.

With one day left before leaving, Guan Ning went to find Xue Fang and Ye Wushuang again.

Seeing Xue Fang was purely to exchange feelings, while seeing Ye Wushuang was to discuss important matters.

Didn't make it very clear.

Guan Ning believed that she would cooperate fully when he started trouble.

The power left by the deposed emperor should not be underestimated, it can be of great use at critical moments.

Now we can't find Tianyi Tower. This is also the force that opposes Emperor Long Jing.

Rebellion is not a trivial matter, and Guan Ning must be fully prepared.

The night before leaving, Guan Ning met Mo Xuan again. She took the initiative to find him. She was hiding in Shangjing and knew his situation quite well.

After another confidential discussion, everything was arranged.

On the morning of the fifth day.

Guan Ning set off again.

Because they have to carry a lot of food and military expenses, they must have escorts.

Guan Ning transferred two thousand personal guards from the Guan family army.

These two thousand personal guards were composed of surrendered soldiers from Wei State, and they were also the most loyal.

The reason why they were kept in the first place was just for the purpose of rebellion, because they had no burden.

At the same time, there were five thousand elite cavalry led by Wu Yunxiao, forming a huge convoy.

Many people gathered at the city gate to see him off, and there were also many officials from the court to see him off.

"There are some things that I shouldn't have said. In fact, I don't want you to go to the north."

Li Xiu may have felt something, his face was very dark.

“Sometimes it’s not what we have to do, but what we have to do due to the inertia of time.”

"Be more careful."

"I will."

"My lord, I didn't expect you to come."

Yang Su, Duke of the State of Yue, was one of the few nobles whom Guan Ning recognized.

"I am going here to save the country, so I should be here to see you off."

As he spoke, Yang Su came to his side again and said in a low voice: "This morning, Xue Huairen, my second assistant, resigned."

"Are you resigning?"

Guan Ning was slightly startled.

"Master Lu has passed away. He is expected to be the chief minister and take over the cabinet. Why would he resign at this time?"

"There's no way he could answer."

Yang Su shook his head and said: "Cutting down the Party and the feudal lord has only made it more prosperous. His existence value is already very small."

Guan Ning knew that the news that Xue Huairen had lost His Majesty's trust had recently been widely circulated in both the DPRK and China. It seemed that what he said was true.

"Xue Huairen is an old fox. He smelled an unusual smell and deliberately avoided it for fear of making a fuss."

Guan Ning was stunned.

The real person in the court is Xue Huairen.

"What about you?"

"I……"

Yang Su shook his head.

"I have no idea."

"Take care of yourself!"

Guan Ning didn't say anything more, he knew that Yang Su couldn't help himself.

"Take care of yourself!"

After chatting with a few more people, Guan Ning sighed inwardly.

He knew that in the future, most of these people would be his enemies.

Because then he will rebel.

"Set off!"

The time has come, Guan Ning led the team to set off.

He looked back at Shangjing City, which was getting further and further away from him, and murmured: "If I come back to Shangjing City again, I will call in..."

"Do you hate Emperor Long Jing?"

Guan Ning sat back in the carriage and asked Xu Ning beside him.

Going to Longzhou first is not a war, so there is no need to be too nervous, and many carriages have been prepared.

Xuanning was confused for a moment, then nodded.

"How about I avenge you in the future?"

She nodded again and took the initiative to hug Guan Ning.
